Langcliffe House

About this property

Langcliffe House is a glorious retreat situated in the heart of Kettlewell in the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park. Tucked away along a quiet country lane and within a quiet backwater of Kettlewell, Langcliffe House offers off-road parking for up to four cars, stunning views, a glowing woodburning stove and two well-behaved dogs. This charming abode is perfect for families or friends seeking a tranquil escape and greets you with the timeless charm of a traditional rustic Yorkshire stone dwelling. A low stone wall, softened by flowering shrubs and potted blooms, frames the approach. Step through the distinctive blue door and into a high-ceilinged hallway, where cool tiled flooring meets warm-toned walls adorned with artwork, an inviting prelude to the comfort within.

From here, the home opens into a generous living space designed for gathering and unwinding. The kitchen centres around a striking purple electric AGA and a central island that invites morning coffee or evening prep chats. Why not challenge your loved ones to a game of pool? From here, the bifold doors lead to the stunning conservatory with panoramic views of the garden and the surrounding Dale. The dining table, set for 10, promises long, laughter-filled meals. Sofas invite you to linger, while a Smart TV makes this a favourite spot for relaxed evenings. The doors open along the front providing access to the deck and garden area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peace and tranquillity.

A snug offers a woodburning stove and Smart TV, ideal for quieter evenings. Bifold doors here open back towards the main living space, creating a sense of flow while offering a peaceful retreat. Follow the pretty wallpapered wall and carpeted staircase to the first floor, the king-size room has its own en-suite, and each offers its own perspective on the surrounding countryside. A landing space with a seating area and a selection of books provides a quiet nook for reading or just enjoying the view with a window that frames the hills beyond. To freshen up, head to the sleek family bathroom, while a ground-floor cloakroom adds convenience.

Up in the eaves, the second-floor family room is a versatile hideaway with a king-size bed and two single beds. Step outside and let the garden draw you in. With uninterrupted views across the Yorkshire Dales, this is a space made for lingering, whether under the midday sun or beneath a canopy of stars. Venture beyond the gate of Langcliffe House to appreciate the stunning landscape, with the Dalesway running along the back of the house, providing wonderful walks from the doorstep. Kettlewell is a quaint village surrounded by beautiful scenery, with the River Wharfe running through. There are several pubs within walking distance, and nearby Grassington, famous for the filming location of All Creatures Great and Small, is a short drive and well worth a visit.

A little further afield, the Forbidden Corner is a unique visitors’ attraction, or visit the Wensleydale Creamery, the home of Wallace and Gromit, for a truly authentic and memorable Yorkshire experience. Savour the natural beauty of North Yorkshire by paying a visit to Linton Falls, brave the stepping stones or simply admire the might of the river from the bank. Every day is an opportunity for a fresh and thrilling adventure when you choose to holiday at Langcliffe House.

Nestling at the foot of Great Whernside, near the head of Upper Wharfedale, this idyllic village makes the perfect place from which to explore the wonderful scenery and pretty villages of this magnificent Dale. Much of Upper Wharfedale is National Trust owned - an indication of the beauty of its classic countryside, with dry-stone walls and barns, important flower-rich hay meadows and valley side woodland. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking and mountain biking areas in the Dales, with The Dales Way passing nearby. The village itself lying on the banks of the River Wharfe is a real delight with traditional built stone cottages, three pubs, a Post Office, speciality shops and a hotel. No surprise that the hit movie Calendar Girls was filmed here and in other locations throughout the area. An excellent base for enjoying the famous Dales, historic market towns, caves and waterfalls of this magical area.
